Not only boycotts, it’ll also be a prime target for retaliatory tariffs. So for even those that don’t care about the boycott, a Roomba will cost at least 25% more than the equivalent robot vacuum made in Korea.

Quit your job.

Though this solution will cause other problems, you probably won’t care about how many hours are left in the weekend anymore.

I’m not a law talking guy, but from my understanding of it, downloading isn’t illegal. But if you’re torrenting it, you’re uploading bits of it to others while you’re downloading. That would be distributing it to others, so that’s copyright infringement.

So if you could find a way to download something without uploading anything, you’d be fine. Kinda like if someone uploads copyright infringing material to youtube. You’re not going to get into hot water for watching that video, but the person who uploaded is.

Not Greenland, but the CBC did find a guy that wanted Canada to be part of the US. That dude’s entire motivation in life was money and didn’t seem to have any thoughts on any other subject.

Theoretically, yes… but the reality is that most people just let algorithms decide which junk they’re going to watch.

This put it in the lefties-only-no-righty-Irish-need-apply revolving-door personnel sector of NGOs

Ok, so you say the donors are not all left, so why would a politically diverse set of donors result in Mozilla having “lefties-only” hiring practices? Reading comprehension requires some critical thinking.

It seems Brendan Eich doesn’t understand that it’s a politcal diverse group that donated to Mozilla (as you do), given the next sentence. Someone with strong reading comprehension would understand logic of, but I’ll explain it to you. His statement is saying that Mozilla became a politically biased organization because of influence from those that donated to it.

Though your strong reading comprehension may have resulted in you having a different interpretation of “lefties-only-no-righty-Irish-need-apply” to mean… well maybe explain what that means to us poor illiterate people that don’t possess your intellectual prowess, LOL.

Also do you care to comment on your interpretation on the “glowies” remark? What does that word mean to you? What is Brendan Eich saying there? Something you agree with I guess.

Not gonna lose a lot of sleep over a hateful asshole getting banned from a website.

All hateful assholes believe their brand of hate is justified, just as you do.

Are you from France? Or just another “socialist” that spends all their time attacking world leaders that are opposed to fascism?

Well you already said I’m welcome, but thank you anyway.

You said it “sounds accurate” then complained about people’s criticism of it. You didn’t actually give any detail about what’s accurate about it or try to explain it in terms that aren’t “rude”.

So my reading comprehension is fine, it’s just your ability to actually explain what it is you agree with (in terms that aren’t “rude”) is lacking.

Which is accurate? It reads like an unhinged paranoid conspiracist. Do you think Geroge Soros runs mozilla? Do you think it’s being controlled by federal agents?

Waterfall is more like: You want to go to Mars. You start to build the rocket. Managers that don’t know anything about building a rocket starts having meetings to tell the engineers who do know how to build a rocket what they should be doing. Management decides to launch the rocket based on a timeline that’s not based in reality. Management tries to launch the rocket based on the timeline instead of when it’s actually finished. Rocket explodes. Management blames the engineers.

The various methodologies don’t actually change what the engineers need to do. But some of them can be effective at requiring more effort from management to interfere in the project. Bad managers are lazy so they’re not going to write a card, so they can be somewhat effective in neutralizing micromanagement. I say somewhat, because bad management will eventually find a way to screw things up.

I’ve never won the lotto, but I feel like there’s probably more than a week of paperwork to deal with before you get your money. And they don’t do a draw every day.

I think Biff Tannen’s idea of sports betting would be the way to go. There’s always games happening somewhere to bet on and you could do a lot of bets on which player gets the next point and stuff like that on those online sports betting apps they’re constantly advertising.

What are you talking about? NATO air power alone (even without the US) would absolutely demolish what’s left of the Russian military. Why are you talking about conscription in NATO countries?

Besides that, if Russia had its way we’d all wind up being conscripted into Putin’s army and sent into the meat grinder for the sake of his imperial ambitions.

I think you need to take a break from Russian state media for a few hours, you’re currently living in a bizarro fantasy world and are unable to have a conversation with people living in the real world.

Trump does the press conference before talks. Remember Justin Trudeau got caught on a hot mic for making fun of him for doing this.

The Agreement Zelenskyy was there to sign was never signed, because this all went down before that could happen.

What’s happening is the US is negotiating with Russia without involving Ukraine. Not too dissimilar from European powers negotiating with Hitler over German claims on Czechoslovakia without Czechoslovakia being part of the negotiations. We know how that ended.

When Trump and Putin reach an agreement (without consideration for Ukraine) they make some bold claim similar to “Peace for our time” and expect everyone to go along with it. When that happens, Ukraine can ignore the agreement and continue fighting, but if too many countries buy Trump’s version of “Peace for our time” then Ukraine could be considered the bad guy because they’re not agreeing to end the war.

But after this? Every country in the world has reiterated their support for Ukraine. Any “peace plan” promoted by Trump will be known to be all about appeasing Putin and be rightly ignored by everyone. Trump’s WWIII comment made it clear that Trump is afraid of Putin, nobody will respect anything he says about Ukraine going forward.

Washington is Moscow now.

They want it to considered purely as a business deal. Any reminder that Zelenskyy is leading a country that’s fighting a war to defend their country from a dictator doesn’t fit their narrative.

Yeah it was just bizarre… the “stupid president” helped you… so you need to thank me.

Pffft… Nowhere near as distasteful as Donald Trump turning the USA into a nation that’s all about betraying allies for money.
